“bNo /bideab./bb” /b

b*/bPhantom, you online? Was that you?”

Tessa blinked at the screen.

Wow. Talk about timing.

“I’m not that powerful.”

“Come on! If iyou /ican’t do it, who can? Quit being modest! Just admit it already–was it you?”

“Phantom shows up in Yalvaria, and boom. Pack gets wrecked. I’m calling it now, it was Phantom!”

“Definitely her! Anyone who crosses her is doomed. Guaranteed.”

“No kidding, that girl’s a menace.”

Tessa was speechless. Were they seriously trash–talking her right to her face? This was way too much.

“Guess you guys don’t need me handling yourwork security anymore.” Her fingers danced across the

screen.

“Heh, we were just joking! You’re not ithat /ipetty, right?”

“Exactly! Just teasing! Our sweet Phantom is beautiful iand /ikindhearted!”

“Cut it out. I need you all to keep an eye on Nathan for me. If he does anything, let me know immediately.”

No matter how things looked now, once Nathan recovered from the shock, he’d definitely realize she was behind it.

“Got it. We’ll be watching him like hawks.b” /b

“Alright. I’m going to bed.”

“Night!”

The next morning, Landon had already arranged breakfast for everyone.

As they ate, he said warmly, “I’ve got to head to the office soon. You and Ysabel stay home and review. I’ll take you two out for dinner after work.”

So this was the infamous overbearing boyfriend type.

Apparently, he had to micromanage ieverything/i.

“Okay,” Tessa replied sweetly, clearly unbothered by Landon’s fussing–if anything, she enjoyed it.

“Also, stay indoors these next few days. Word is, some higher–ups in the Werewolf Council have gone missing. No clue what’s going on yet. Just stay safe and study.”

Nathaniel jumped in immediately. “Yeah, especially you, Ysabel. You haven’t awakened your wolf yet. Don’t go wandering around. Too dangerous.”

bIt’s /bfine, I’ve bgot /bTessal” Ysabel said cheerfully.

“bTessa’s /bnot bgoing /bout either.” Landon warned, giving her a sharp look.

bYsabel /binstantly backed down. “Got it, got it. We’ll study at the apartment.”

Only then did Landon case up.

After breakfast, he asked Tessa for a goodbye kiss, then left with a satisfied grin.

Ysabel and Nathaniel both shook their heads at the sight.

Once Landon was gone, Ysabel finally rxed.

She was about to start ranting about her overbearing uncle when Tessa’s phone rang.

It was Ethan.

Tessa frowned, but answered.

“Tessa, I know you’ve got examsing up. I hate to bother you now-” Ethan’s breath came through the line,ced with distant wolf howls and sirens.

“If you’re calling, just get to the point.” If he didn’t want to bother her, he wouldn’t have called.

“Where are you? I’lle pick you up. It’s urgent–seriously bad.”

As the captain of the SWAT division, he hated having to keep asking a young girl for help. But when lives were on the line, he had no choice.

“I’m at Wisteria Apartment. Juste here.”

After hanging up, Tessa went to get dressed.

Ysabel followed her immediately.

“You’re going out? But my uncle said not to! What’s going on? Can Ie with you?”

At this point, whether she studied or not didn’t really matter. She might as well go out and blow off some

steam.

“Sorry, not this time. Stay home and review.

Ysabel looked heartbroken.

“Why not? Why can’t I ever go with you, Tessa? Why do you always have so many secrets?”

Weren’t they supposed to be best friends?

Why were there so many things Tessa wouldn’t let her in on?
